Repackaging Sin: A Biblical Take on Addiction Recovery

We do not have a special problem that needs a special solution. Addiction is a heart issue, and it's not more complicated than that.
Ever thought about how addiction is often dressed up in seemingly harmless ways? In this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley dive deep into the tricky terrain of addiction, biblical counseling, and the crucial role of the local church. They tackle head-on the pitfalls of secular philosophies in addiction treatment and champion the sufficiency of scripture as the ultimate guide.
The conversation also sheds light on the often-controversial topic of labeling addiction as a disease and its ripple effects on families and communities. The hosts emphasize that addiction is fundamentally a heart issue, not requiring a special solution but rather a return to grace and truth. Dr. Shaw poignantly states, 'Addiction is a heart issue, and it's not more complicated than that'.
This episode is a goldmine for anyone yearning for a biblical perspective on addiction and the transformative power of the gospel.
